Former Google Engineer Creates ‘Robot God’ to Worship and Praise


A few weeks ago, James Cameron in an interview about his upcoming addition to the “Terminator” franchise, was asked the question, “Will machines ever win against humanity?”  His answer was succinct and to the point.  “Look at people on their phones.  The machines have already won.”

Obviously not the mechanical revolution that most think of when they picture Arnold Schwarzenegger withstanding an army, Cameron is right in many respects.  These days, we cannot do anything without technology.  If anyone has children of one through 20, you know what I’m talking about.  Have a power outage for even one hour and you’d think that the entire house had collapsed.  They can’t charge their phones, or play games on the internet, or even just simply look up the latest Antifa rally and where and when the destruction and violence will take place!  For God’s sake, what will we do without power?

A former Google employee, Anthony Levandowski, has created a new company called Way of the Future.  Its intent:  [To] “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society.”

You read that right.  He is basically creating an artificial god to which he himself would be subservient!

Sounds weird, crazy and…if I may…a little stupid…but there it is.  Levandowski may be either on the verge of a complete mental breakdown…OR…he’s the next Albert Einstein.

One thing that I can’t get out of my mind (for all you “Breaking Bad” fans) is the image of physicist Gale Boetticher (actor David Costabile) singing “Major Tom” by Peter Schilling.  If you haven’t seen the show, you won’t get the reference, but just as an aside, see the clip below:

So, Levandowski has decided that his creation of a “godhead” will be what propels society into the 22nd Century (I assume) by presenting Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others with a technological alternative!

Former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski is emerging from the shadow of a self-driving lawsuit to create a robot god.

The present continues to take inspiration from science-fiction author Isaac Asimov’s visions of the future. In “The Last Question,” Asimov conceived of an artificial intelligence project known as Multivac. Its purpose was to solve for the inevitable heat death of the universe, but in the end, it becomes that answer.

To quote Wired’s Mark Harris, “God is a bot, and Anthony Levandowski is his messenger.” At least, that is the plan.

But Levandowski, like so many prophets, did not begin his life as an aspiring holy man. He was once the co-founder of self-driving trucking company “Otto,” purchased by Uber and now at the center of a lawsuit from Google parent company Alphabet for Levandowski’s alleged theft of their technology from competitor Waymo. Currently, Levandowski may even be looking toward incarceration, if Google’s gestating criminal case makes further headway.

That does not, however, seem to be slowing Anthony Levandowski down. His vision for a religion centered on an AI godhead has been quietly developing since that initial 2015 filing.

Extreme futurists like Ray Kurzweil have replaced religion with faith of their own in the form of a technological Singularity. Elon Musk and his peers, however, are much less confident in humanity’s ability to survive its own future creations. He has called AI “potentially more dangerous than nukes,” and compared the rise of super AI to “summoning the demon.” At a 2014 conference, he warned, “…in all those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it’s like – yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon. Doesn’t work out.”

For me, before any robot ever becomes a god, the world will already be in the literal Last Days. It is a sad commentary that the Leftists are once again attempting to supplant a 2,000+ year-old religion with yet another alternative that flies in the face of logic, popularity, and sanity.
